| | | Closing a company...
Hi!
I am leaving Switzerland and in the process will need to close my GmbH. I learned a lot of lessons on how to start a company - it's actually really easy if you know the steps and especially the necessary sequence of them... but I have no idea what steps I need to take in which order to close on down.
Anyone done it and could give me the right pointers?
Cheers!

The steps are outlined in this document (German):
https://www.kmu.admin.ch/kmu/de/home...-schritte.html
A quick overview in English:
1. Board of Directors resolution to liquidate, on which a public document is issued
2. Naming of a Liquidator
3. Application to liquidate
4. Notice to creditors (3 times in SHAB)
5. Disposal of assets
6. Removal from commercial register
In my experience, a GmbH liquidation will generally take a year, although it can be shortened by having a special audit performed. It is not particularly difficult, although your mileage may differ.

There's someone on here wants to start a GMBH, maybe he will buy.
Or perhaps someone will take it over for you until you return triumphant.

Regarding the sale: Sounds like a smart idea... Any reason not to sell a Gmbh? Any risks I should be aware of?

I heard it's easier to sell a company instead of closing (provided it has a clean history)
